Jeremy C. Reed 461dd32159 openmotif needed a Berkeley Yacc, because bison -y -d
couldn't parse motif/tools/wml/Uil.y. (I read that others
had same issue.) My system didn't have a Berkeley Yacc.
Also note that various (5+) versions of byacc exist.
This package could check if NetBSD or if /usr/bin/yacc exists,
and skip, but since uses name byacc, I think is fine.

Berkeley Yacc (byacc) is a LALR(1) parser generator. Berkeley Yacc
has been made as compatible as possible with AT&T Yacc. Berkeley
Yacc can accept any input specification that conforms to the AT&T
Yacc documentation.
Some programs depend on a byacc (instead of bison).
